This computer is part of a range of Portégé ultra-light computers released by Toshiba from 1993-2018. The Portege R500 is one of the lightest in the range, weighing around 0.7kg.

It runs Windows Vista Business Edition and has a Core 2 Duo U7600/U7700. The WXGA display measures 12.1-inch.

The range focussed on long battery life and high performance, this was the first notebook laptop that incorporated a DVD drive, but weighed under a Kilo.

Later models in the series had a touch screen and stylus for scribbling notes.

After a series of problems, the Portege name passed to Dynabook, before being purchased by Sharp.
